Melobot: A Last Song – PC Review

Melobot is a third person, story driven game from an eagle top down view released earlier this month. It was developed by Anomalie Studios and published by Microids. Melobot is available on Steam for £15.99. It is also available to play on the PS Store and Xbox. Melobot: The Last Song offers a unique perspective on a well-told story; nurture nature and protect the environment. I only really needed to play ten minutes of this game to know I'd fall in love with it. As someone who adores simplistic graphical designs with a powerful story behind it, this game holds my heart. Even its title is a prime example of juxtaposition. The combination of a futuristic and sentient robot paired with the beauty of music. Chef's kiss. You can tell I graduated in Literature.. A Mellow Melobot Meanders in...

Brink Traveler – Quest 3 Review

You may not have heard of Brink Traveler before stumbling upon this review, but let me tell you something, you won't forget it now. Developed and published by Brink XR, Brink Traveler aims to take you to locations that you may have only ever heard of. The developers captured all locations in volumetric 3D. Sounds good right? Let's go explore this VR experience! Take Your First Step If you have Brink Traveler and want to join us as we explore new locations, why not tell us your favourite spots? Who knows, we might see you out there! Gameplay There isn't much to the gameplay of Brink Traveler. Basically you choose a location, transport there and explore. This does the game a disservice though. As what it does incredibly well, is give you the true feeling of actually being there. Using yo...

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed – PS5 Review

Thanks to the team at Purple Lamp, we see Disney’s Epic Mickey: Rebrushed returning on a new set of consoles and with a fresh coat of paint. Originally an exclusive for the Nintendo Wii, I missed my chance to play it first time round, so I’ll be going in blind for this one. The game launched on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Steam and PlayStation today, 23rd September. Epic tales are told in many art forms. I own Epic Mickey 2: Power of Two on PlayStation 3. But never dived into it due to not originally playing the previous entry. I do enjoy playing some of Disney’s more interesting properties when their characters are involved, aka when they add dark undertones to their games. Making them seem more mature. The best example I can think of is the Kingdom Heart franchise, with the themes of da...

Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland – PC Review

When Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland was announced I immediately sensed the nostalgia. The 90s were a magical time, especially if you grew up glued to Nickelodeon, absorbing episodes of Rugrats like a sponge. Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, and the troublemaking twins Phil and Lil were more than just cartoon characters; they were part of our childhood. A platformer that marries retro 8-bit glory with HD polish, starring our favourite diapered heroes? Count me in! Published and developed by The MIX Games and Wallride, we covered the news about the release of Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland earlier this month. It is currently available digitally on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4|5, and Nintendo Switch. Smells like nostalgia Having spent time shuffling through the world of Gameland, I'm her...
